A Simple Guide to Rock Painting

Last week our two-year old son proudly brought a headless snake into the house (it was probably a casualty from the lawn mower). I am still saying prayers of gratitude that he brought it to his dad and not me. 😉 Really this is a common occurrence, not the headless snake part, but the joy and excitement of finding things outside.

One of our favorite treasures to hunt for is rocks. On our recent search we found a plethora of smooth stones (perfect for painting). We decided that painting them would be a fun way to add some color to our garden this year.

I will say, once we got the base color on I was left with most of the design work. Partly because my kids are a little young for acrylic paint and partly because it was getting everywhere. (Next time, we’ll do the painting part outside.) 🙂

We chose to paint bugs and a cute little saying for the garden, but there were so many different ideas to choose from.
